In this episode, the BoDaddy shares about his co-passion projects in his local community and the struggle to act as a community of faith in our increasingly tribal time. Then they discuss the nature of contemplation versus fascination, sparked by reflections from Tripp's son's school essay and interviews with scholars Kevin Hart and Norman Wirzba. They reflect on the impact of smartphones on our attention, social life, and spiritual well-being, proposing ways to shift from fascination to deeper contemplative living. Along the way, they share humor, personal anecdotes, and a collective plan for conscious technology use during Lent.

This past I week I was in Chicago for the American Academy of Religion. When I arrived in Chicago I discovered that DePaul University’s Philosophy department was hosting Jack Caputo! It was like an early Christmas present & now it’s your Thanksgiving surprise. Many thanks to Michael Naas for letting me join the fun.

Hope you all enjoy the freshest Caputo excitement!

Jack’s last visit to the podcast was his introduction to Radical Theology! His first, second, and third visit rocked the podcast. Then we shared his main-stage fun from Soularize and the 3D event with Philip Clayton, Jay Bakker, and Peter Rollins. Even more exciting are these class lectures Caputo is sharing here at HBC. These lectures are free theological cat nip for theology nerds. Enjoy.

What exactly is MAGA? In this episode, we dive deep into the movement, not just as a political force, but as a new kind of civil religion. We'll explore the history of self-creation, from Martin Luther to the age of Trump, and how this uniquely American idea shapes the MAGA movement. We'll also unpack the complex relationship between online communities and real connection, the allure of nostalgia, and the very nature of truth in a post-truth era. Join us for a fascinating conversation on the spiritual and cultural forces driving one of the most significant movements in recent history.
